Dale W Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I've seen just about every audio stand imaginable over the years but these take the cake !! Someones spent some time buiding these . The amps are for sale on E-bay right now if anyones looking . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aviserated Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 The best looking and performing stereo rack is a simple concrete bench. The concrete is very dense and heavy which resonates far far less. There are many styles to choose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-MAN Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Wood looks good, but is not the best choice for an equipment stand as it transmits vibration easily, of course. I would go with steel and glass instead IMO. DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAPTORMAN Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I believe the guy is in the Toronto area. His price is little too much IMHO. He had it listed on ebay last month--with a starting bid of 6000.00 for 3 pcs. it has expired since then without any bids. A pair of monoblocks and the preamp.

Klipschfoot Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Audio shrines can be taken to extremes, can't they? I wish I had that kind of time and talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholtl Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Pretty artistic. Too bad the carpenter didn't account for any wire management system though. =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royster Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I still prefer good old MAPLE. Mapleshade has been good for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Adams Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Maybe it's concrete painted to look like wood? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piranha Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I bet the acoustics are great with the block walls though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D0N Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 I think a stereo stand that takes up an entire 1/2 of the room is a little much. It looks like a jungle gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 It would take Liam about 15 seconds to ascend to the top stand, whereupon he would commence heaving the five dead guys through the window. Some ideas definitely are NOT kid-proof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Sheltie, after seeing Liam's photo in the group shot, I'm just about on the floor imaginging the little guy scaling that preposterous pile of rubble and proceeding to demolish it entirely ! yer killing me! As for the 'sculpture'- rubbish, looks like overgrown tinkertoys, talk about form over function! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 Looks like some decided to reconfigure a jungle gym. Mapleshade? When I get that catalog I use it for comic relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxg Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well I think you are all being a bit hard on this. It is different - and at least it is a change from the standard pile we all have in our living rooms. If you have the space, why not I say - could look great in the right environment - although I would probably have put the Beethoven (?) bust on one of the stands and SWMBO would have filled the rest with pot plants (er...that's plants in pots - not pot plants). In other words - what a dumb idea!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWhite Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 Well, I actually like the setup, It could perhaps be redone to use less space and a cable channel could be added quite easily but I like it. Very unique! Most of the glass and metal stands I see lack any aesthetics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seti Posted September 9, 2004 Share Posted September 9, 2004 I would call it "Schizophrenic Ironing Board On Acid" ! I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
